Suggest Treatment For Bulimia
How can I tell my doctor about my bulimia? Will my doctor tell my parents?
I am 17 years old and have been throwing up every day for like 6 monthes now. Since 6th grade I have been doing these weird ed behaviors like restrict and return to normal habits and then I began purging for a month but still returned to normal. But lately I can’t go one day without purging my food! Every day I wake up and tell myself there is nothing wrong, then I randomly in class I begin to think about all the foods I can eat and purge. I don’t want to do the sports I had passion for because ids rather just go home and purge. Then, it’s when I’m cleaning up all the vomit I realize this is disgusting and not who I am I need help but never do anything because I don’t wanted to be judged and just soooooooo…many reasons. In 55’ and weigh 135 depending on the day like honestly it can raise or drop 5 in a day. There is so much more but yeah!

Hello,
Ideally if it is the history of vomiting since last six months then it ought to be looked for underlying cause, if it is not being done then it might not be that much troublesome or it is due to some pathological disease, it seems to be functional kind of disorders, or it may be due to dyspepsia and food could be the cause, food allergy could be another reason, first thing you need to do is change the diet, I would advise trying tablet Omeprazole with Domperidone once in day, avoid taking junk food, discuss this with your parents and doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
